Using EQCHANGE
Tutorial (une mise à jour est prévue prochainement)

For more information on the data, see Working Paper CEPII 2017-14.


Weighting schemes
The three weighting schemes for EQCHANGE are the following:

• Time-invariant weighting scheme representative of foreign trade between 2008-2012
• Time-invariant weighting scheme representative of foreign trade between 1973-2016
• Time-varying weighting scheme based on non-overlapping five-year average weights

RPROD
This new database developed by CEPII complements the EQCHANGE database, by providing additional measures of the Balassa-Samuelson effect. RPROD delivers the following indicators computed for each country included in the database, and relative to its main trading partners: (i) GDP per capita, (ii) labor productivity, (iii) consumer-price-to-producer-price ratio, (iv) three-sectors' value-added deflator, and (v) six-sectors' value-added deflator. These different measures are publicly available with the aim to contribute to the investigation of the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis, and to the comparison of estimated equilibrium real exchange rates and currency misalignments across alternative proxies of this effect.
